I used to have this great habit of creating playlists of my (new) favorite songs every month, especially during school. This summer has been chaotic for me and full of so much change I feel like I’m just finally getting back to normality and my playlists…

The Summer Chaos…I graduated from college and switched between two jobs. I have spent the last couple of months adjusting to the idea I don’t have any more school. What do I do now? (Relax) I now have my BA in English and plenty of time to read whatever I want and as much as I want…(I will be posting a list of what I am currently reading right now soon, a staggering 12-14 books)…

ALSO, I’m not sure if anyone has noticed but I have transitioned from a wordpress.com blog to an official wordpress.org site with my own domain name and everything (very official) this transition was two months of hard work, including registering my domain, figuring out wordpress.org, loading themes and working out the details…my new site is a little over a week old now and I’m so relieved it’s over with!

So I have finally had time to put together some playlists on my Spotify I haven’t shared my playlists publically before but I think it’s about time. I spend most of my spare time listening to music, reading, and writing as well as painting the odd painting here and there. My music drives me, gives me focus, and helps me work out problems, obstacles, and creative challenges that come my way. Without my music, I think I would be a very dull and very quiet person…

MA PLAYLITZ!!!

I want to say thank you to all my followers, regular readers, and everyone who takes time out of their day to read my words (poems, scatterbrain thoughts, book reviews, whatever). I am so grateful to you all!

I am planning on posting more content with a more regular schedule in the following weeks. This will include continuing the Bertha Short Story Series, writing more book reviews, and music/film discussions.

As usual, I am open to any suggestions for discussion topics from readers that would love to read my response or criticism on literature, poetry, film, music, or art. Please leave any suggestions or comments below!
